His tender last farewell,
A Guide, a Comforter, bequeathed
With us to dwell.
2 He came in semblance of a Dove,
With sheltering wings outspread,
The holy balm of peace and love
On earth to shed.
3 He came sweet influence to impart,
A gracious, willing guest,
While He can find one humble heart
Wherein to rest.
4 And His that gentle voice we hear,
Soft as the breath of even,
That checks each thought, that calms each fear,
And speaks of heaven.
5 And every virtue we possess,
And every victory won,
And every thought of holiness,
Are His alone.
6 Spirit of purity and grace,
Our weakness, pitying, see:
O make our hearts Thy dwelling-place,
And meet for Thee.
Our blest Redeemer, ere He breathed
